"The defining ability of a Transformer is their ability to shapeshift. A Transformer can instantly transform their body into other people, or even certain animals and monsters, gaining some of the physical characteristics and attack abilities of the transformed individual," Bai Yueyi said. "For a Transformer, transforming into another person allows for disguise, infiltration, and a variety of other uses. Transforming into various monsters greatly enhances their adaptability and direct combat capabilities. If they need to fly, they can become an eagle; if they need speed, they can become a cheetah; if they need destructive power, they can become Xiang Liu, and so on."
"Besides this main ability, there are some additional features. I'm not very clear about those features. You'll have to experience them yourself after you break through to the Qi Realm. Also, there's the aura that's unique to the Qi of the Dao."
"The aura of the Dao is very adaptable, like flowing water. It can respond to and change the illusions within its aura, so that when others interact with the illusions within the aura's range, the feedback they receive is almost identical to reality. This aura can be used to create ghost walls, make a small army disappear, create mirages, etc. It has many uses, but it is not good at direct confrontation."
As Chen Jing listened to the description, he felt quite fascinated. Illusionists were one thing, but the ability of the shapeshifter sounded really appealing. Originally, Chen Jing thought that the "immortal master" of the Heavenly Qi was the one that best matched his expectations of a cultivator, but the shapeshifter's ability reminded Chen Jing of Sun Wukong's seventy-two transformations. The more he thought about it, the more exciting it felt.
"Luo You seems to be a master of disguise, unable to even distinguish between men and women. He must have used the aura of Dao Qi at the Donglai pawnshop, creating an illusion that was completely realistic. If I hadn't used the Dark Source to investigate, I wouldn't have been able to detect a single flaw..."
"However, it seems that we can't beat the warrior cultivator in a head-on battle... With one 'qi impact,' all the illusions will be gone. Even if we turn into a monster and go into melee combat, it's unlikely that we can beat the warrior cultivator who has been proficient in combat since the Blood Realm, unless we can transform into a super monster that surpasses the Qi Realm level, or at least a monster of the Glass Lizard level or higher."
Chen Jing pondered, only to find that there was no further narration about Bai Yueyi.
"That's it?" Chen Jing asked in surprise. What about the abilities of the Bright Realm, Extreme Realm, and Divine Realm?
"Aiming too high is not a good thing." Bai Yueyi's profile was breathtakingly beautiful.
"Hmm..." Chen Jing thought for a moment and asked, "Miss Bai Yueyi, when I was chatting with a Qi Realm cultivator before, she told me that cultivation methods are divided into orthodox and inverse methods, with general principles and levels. Could you tell me about the cultivation method of Dao Qi?"
Chen Jing immediately received a genuine eye roll from Bai Yueyi: "Do you think I'm a sheep? You've been trying to steal my knowledge all this time."
Chen Jing was speechless, not knowing what to say.
Although Bai Yueyi said this, she still explained to Chen Jing: "The Qi of the Dao is very mysterious, very mysterious. From ancient times to the present, there are sects such as Tiandao Mountain, Yinlou, and Cangxu that cultivate the Qi of the Dao. The only great family that cultivates the Qi of the Dao is the Yingfei family."
“Each of their families has a different cultivation method. The Fei family also has family precepts that are different from other sects, and they all regard these methods as secrets that are difficult for outsiders to know.”
Chen Jing couldn't hide his disappointment: "So, you didn't know either?"
He regretted it somewhat; he should have taken some risks to consult Luo You earlier.
"I know some things, but not all." Bai Yueyi smiled, a rare occurrence.
"Once I'm free, I'll tell you what I know as payment for your help. I might even give you a Dao Qi Pill at the Dan Realm level, as part of the payment as well."
"You don't need to worry about me breaking the contract. That knowledge is classified information to you, but it's common sense to me. As for that Pill Realm Qi Spirit Pill, it will be a piece of cake for me to obtain it after I'm free."
"Alright, you've rested enough, let's continue. You're still far from meeting the standard for illusions."
...
Inside the secluded villa of Lu Gang, the mastermind.
As soon as Lu Ganggang returned, he brought some materials to this place.
He stood respectfully outside the room, bowed, and said, "All the materials you requested are in the carriage outside."
"Informants within the Guardians report that they are investigating our situation and location, and I suspect they may launch an attack on us at any time."
The rust-colored bamboo flowers were blown about by the wind.
The wind carried that ethereal female voice.
"very good."
"You must strike first."
Black Hand Lu Gang bowed again:
"Yes! I swear to serve you, sir."
The wind carrying bamboo blossoms flies away, flies away.
Suddenly it started to rain, the raindrops first falling in scattered drops, then becoming increasingly dense.
Drizzling, drizzling.
The bamboo blossoms that flew into the sky were soaked by the rain and fell to the ground in the mud.
It was like a flower blooming from a drop of thick, sticky blood.
...
Inside Dr. Mei Anming's hospital.
The main hall where the statues were originally placed was still under renovation and was quite noisy. So Dr. Mei moved to a different location to see patients.
After writing the prescription, another patient left. Before Dr. Mei could even rest, Xiao Qiu, who was doing chores nearby, said, "Doctor, Miss Shanren is looking for you."
The "benefactor" refers to the devout pregnant woman who donated money to renovate the hospital. Because she never introduced herself by her surname, Xiao Qiu addressed her as "Ms. Kindhearted" without any formality.
Dr. Mei nodded. She figured the pregnant woman was probably saying goodbye after the hospital renovations were finished, and she remembered that they were almost done the night before.
She arrived at the lobby and saw a large number of people coming and going near the statue covered with tarpaulin.
Those people all looked unwell. Mei Anming's professional instincts kicked in; she subconsciously observed the workers around her and noticed that almost everyone had a problem with their complexion—either ashen and lifeless, or sickly flushed…
